Documentation repository, not the AskGSC application source code. The hosted service is operated by AskGSC. You don't need to clone this repository, install packages, host an MCP server, or manage Google API credentials.
What can AskGSC do?
AskGSC allows your AI assistant to retrieve Google Search Console data for properties you have permission to view:
- SEO performance: clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position across time.
- Search queries and pages: identify traffic drivers, declining pages, and emerging queries.
- Segmentation: analyze by page, query, date, country, device, and other supported Search Console dimensions.
- Before/after comparisons: compare periods and find where changes are concentrated.
- SEO opportunities: investigate high-impression/low-CTR pages and potential query-to-page overlaps.
- Technical signals: inspect Google's last-known URL indexing information and submitted sitemap warnings.
Everything runs through read-only Google OAuth access. AskGSC cannot modify your Search Console properties, submit URLs for indexing, or edit your website.
Install AskGSC in Visual Studio Code

Example Google Search Console prompts
Use a precise site/property and a complete date range to get more useful answers:
List my available Google Search Console properties and help me pick the right one.
For [PROPERTY], compare the most recent complete 28 days with the preceding
28 days. Which pages lost the most clicks? Show both periods and note data gaps.
For [PROPERTY], find query–page pairs with strong impressions but low CTR.
Give me five opportunities to investigate, with the underlying GSC metrics.
For [PROPERTY], check Google's last-known indexing status for [PAGE URL].
Explain any canonical, crawl or indexing signals worth investigating.

Pricing
AskGSC starts with a 14-day full-access trial, no credit card required. After the trial, Free is available with 20 MCP credits/month by default; the actual allowance is shown in your account. Pro costs €4.99/month with no AskGSC monthly credit cap while active, subject to Google and infrastructure limits. The free trial does not automatically convert to paid. See current pricing.
Important limitations
Google Search Console is not a real-time ranking tracker. Its data may be delayed or incomplete, and some queries are anonymized or omitted. Average position is not a live SERP position. Indexing inspection reflects Google's last-known state, not a live crawl. Query overlap is not proof of SEO cannibalization. AskGSC provides data and deterministic analyses; your AI assistant interprets them, and you make the SEO decisions.
